The 6th book in the Jane Yellowrock series, it took me a while to start it, but once I did, I had to finish the whole thing as quickly as I could.

The previous books had left a lot of questions, a lot of situations that needed to be resolved. Whether it is the situation with Molly, or Bruiser. Whether it was the fight with Ricky-bo at the end of Death's Rival - all of it there, none of it resolved. And it has had its impact on Jane. She is depressed. At least she has the Younger brothers - final The 6th book in the Jane Yellowrock series, it took me a while to start it, but once I did, I had to finish the whole thing as quickly as I could.

The previous books had left a lot of questions, a lot of situations that needed to be resolved. Whether it is the situation with Molly, or Bruiser. Whether it was the fight with Ricky-bo at the end of Death's Rival - all of it there, none of it resolved. And it has had its impact on Jane. She is depressed. At least she has the Younger brothers - finally partners she can trust at her back.

The book starts with Jane, and then moves on to the job she takes on in Natchez. I cannot say much about the plot, except that it is really good, and things fall into place near the end - like every Jane Yellowrock book.

There is a lot of character development in this book. Jane is evolving. She has changed so much since the series started and I like all of it. She is growing, becoming more human, even as more people realize that she is far from human.

The Younger brothers are great to read about. Eli and the Kid are both amazing at what they do, and the way they are now Jane's family - well, its great. Simply put, she needed some honest friends and she has them now.

Ricky-bo and Bruiser are there. They are also changing, especially Bruiser. The changes in Rick are more subtle - but strong. He and Jane have issues, but now I think there is hope of them being worked out in the next book. Bruiser though, no matter what he wants, Leo is still there, and so I have no idea what is there in the future for him and Jane. I kind of want to know what is the end of these three, and yet I kind of do not. There are so much fun to read about, though I might change that opinion later.

Both Rick and Bruiser get some good moments with her which really makes me wonder what is going to happen to the three of them. Beast of course was awesome. I loved it when she smacked Brute on the nose, and then later called him a 'stupid dog'. Pea and Soul were there. Basically everyone (except the usual vamps) was around and it was good to see them again. Like old friends you want to smack on the head.

I think I was glad there was not much Leo in this book - and I did love all the snark Jane put him through. He has that and much more coming. Overall, the book is great. Definitely great. And now I want to read the next one.
